Protesters cause major train service disruptions, block streets and hunker down for expected clashes with police at university campuses.
University students from mainland China and Taiwan are fleeing Hong Kong, while those from two Scandinavian countries have been moved or urged to leave as college campuses become the latest battleground in the city’s five-month-long antigovernment unrest.
For the third day in a row, protesters widely disrupted train service, blocked streets and rallied in the central business district. They hunkered down for possible clashes with police at university campuses. Many subway and rail stations were closed after protesters threw debris on tracks and vandalized train cars. University classes remained suspended.
Many students at Chinese University on the outskirts of the sprawling metropolis were armed with gasoline bombs, while some carried bows and arrows. Security Secretary John Lee said the use of force at Chinese University was needed because protesters were dropping objects onto a roadway below.
